Yeah you don’t want to get a reman pump as they don’t do any more than you’re doing it will have the slop when driving straight as that’s where there is the most wear

What are y'all thoughts on running break-in oil?
I would suggest thoroughly reading the information here:

I'm in the process of replacing cam (flat tappet) and Hydraulic lifters..... he's got me almost 100% convinced, from both his unbiased independent testing and the testimonials of people who have followed his advice, that I don't think I'm gonna do a break in OR use any zinc additive EVER.....
I think it's well worth considering......IMHO

Don't fall down the rabbit hole, the 540 RAT guy's blog is endless nonsense masquerading as non-biased testing.

The pump has the most wear when driving straight?
Yes as that’s the point from where you turn left or right
What in the PS pump CHANGES when the vehicle turns, instead of steering straight? How does wear in the pump create "slop" when driving straight?

Seems to me you're confusing the pump with the steering gear.

It is the steering box I may have written it wrong. Sorry for any confusion

Pretty sure I trust him ......
You gotta read past the first few sentences to get the meat of it.... but to each his own I guess
